Airbag light- module failure?

[rdass623]

came back from the body shop says it all, chances are they removed a component like a seat or door panel, and triggered the light because they neglected to remove the negative terminal from the battery. the light will not reset itself, you need to hook it up to a durametric (or similar) program and have the light turned off.

always remember when removing anything which you could hallucinate is related to the airbag system to disconnect the battery. as a precaution, I also like to hit the brakes a couple of times to "purge" any additional current from the system.

So today I stopped into my local indy and had the airbag system scanned with a durametric. It has an airbag module internal failure code. He tried to reset the light and it comes right back. Has been counted over 100 times- hard fault.

My guess is the body shop jump started the car (since it had a weak battery when I dropped it off) and had the key on.

If I buy a module out of a wreck/parted out car is it plug and play? Is there a serial number specific to model/trim/year? Does this need to be initialized by a dealer, or can the durametric initialize it?
